True Promises

God has not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our life through;
God has not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God has promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labour,
Light for the way;
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
